Glamorous Dinnerware

With the holidays creeping up, and house guests planning to invade, its time to update your dining set. Throw out those dull and boring dishes and make room for all that shines. With the "bling-bling" phase slowly fading out and subtle, glitsy glamour pushing its way to the top, you should not be surprised that everyone down to the napkins wants in on the spotlight. Make Mrs.Jones turn green with envy with these glamorous dinner accessories.

First we have swarvoski crystal napkin holders. Yes, napkin holders. Pop these elegant rings over any cloth napkin for instant fabulousness. The online store, www.jomashop.com, showcases beautiful swarvoski crystal pieces with rainbow details. At $152 a pop, they don't come cheap but are certainly well worth it when you consider the amount of compliments you are sure to get with these on your table.

Everyone loves gold. Let your table in on the fun with gold plated dinnerware. The J.L. Coquet
Hemisphere Dinner Plate is plated in 22 karat gold and is sure to be the highlight of any dinner occasion. The set, which is available at Neiman Marcus, retails for $110. If platinum is your fancy, the Noritake Regina Platinum Dinnerware is for you. Available at Linens-N-Things, this 5 piece set will only put you back $59.99.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend and any girl is sure to love diamond studded flatware. Luxury designer Christolfe has created a silverware set that is trimmed in hand-set diamonds from France. The eight piece set retails for $18,600. The Malmaison Classique Flatware set takes months to make so don't have your heart set on serving your guests with diamonds this season!

If this level of glam is a bit (or in my case a lot) out of reach for you, there are thousands of fashionable choices available for your choosing. Whatever you choose to adorn your holiday table, make sure the most prominent piece is your smile. Yes, as corny as it may be, a beautiful smile is always in season!
